    Hi all,

    looking for a small ish plant for my desk, plenty of daylight through the window if that makes any difference?

    Ideally I'd like something more along the lines of a small "bush" ie with very dense, small, leaves. I can picture exactly what I'd like but can't for the life of me find it.

    Any ideas?

    Off hand I cant think of anything that would suit with small dense leaves. You are describing more of a shrub type plant and most of them are not happy to be indoors the whole time.

    The only possibility might be helxine, http://myhome.bormioliroccocasa.com/myhome/en/home/Give-room-to-ideas/baldi-jars/helxine.html
    though it is a bit of a weed - and if it gets loose in a greenhouse it is definitely a weed - I would not recommend it.

    thanks, after a bit of googling using that amazing new word that I always new existed but completely forgot about (shrub) I found pretty much the ideal thing.

    Potted boxwood, or something similar...
